dont do it. you made it right? it came from you…so why try to get rid of it….?
think of how the child will feel when he learns his real parents wanted to get rid ofhim… think of that!

Why bring a child into this world if you can’t care for it?
Care systems can seriously mess children up.

it depends. if you cant care for the child, put it up. but if you want to try to care for it, go on social assistance. it helps alot.

I couldnt do it. But at least you did not get an abortion. You know I used to be one of those people so for it, but then I had a pregnancy scare and I could just not do it. So good for you. Do what you feel is right. Will you regret it later in life?

I’m a teen.
If I got pregnant, and I could provide for the baby, I would keep it.
However, if it were going to be raised in a bad environment with me, I would put it up for adoption. It all depends on the circumstances.

it’s better than having an abortion and i know people that have adopted and they are happy with the baby. it’s great to make someone else happy if you don’t wanna keep the baby.

Looking back I wish I could have put up my two kids for adoption
as they were raised by their mother and turned into a couple of ungrateful
selfish adults who don’t know the meaning of *responsibility.*
They are now 37 and 38 and they still act like the world owes them a living
Nobody hurts more then relatives or family

i personally wouldn’t be able to do it but i would support a friend if she decided to give up her child

A baby has come from you. It belongs to you. Its yours. How could you let it go?
Give it to someone else would break my heart. I wouldnt stop thinking about it.

I dont think you should do it. You are responsible for making that baby and adoption could even ruin its life.

well id keep it.. cuz chances are no one in my country would want it anyways.. all the assholes are going over seas for babies like we need more of those
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:15 am
well it is your own decision of course, but i would wait and see until the baby is born and see how you feel then. but if you totally DONT want it then the best option might be adoption. but please don’t make any decisions that you will regret in the future.

Think of it this way. If you don’t put it up, the baby won’t get the home or family it deserves. It needs a mature mother AND father to raise it successfully and happily. If you compromise education now, then you’re screwed for later life.
Good luck!
By the way, use a condom next time!

It depends on the situation. If you do not have support financially or emotionally I would say it is for the best.
June 29th, 2009 at 12:41 am
well if you cant or don’t want to keep your baby then i would say give the baby to some one who cant have a baby personally it wasn’t for me when i got pregnant at 15 and kept my son now 16 and pregnant with a girl and keeping her too

For a pregnant teen=
Its a hard decision to make, but sometimes thats the best solution- if u know the baby will have a better life with an adoptive family, then adoption is the way to go– its always better than abortion–

I am not a pregnant teen. But I am going to answer anyways. I think putting a baby up for adoption if you can’t care for it is the best option. There are so many great people out there that can not have children and adoption is our only option. I am one of those people. My whole life all I wanted to be was a mom and finding out that I can not have children was the worst feeling I have ever felt. But then I stopped being selfish and thought maybe god wants me to adopt. Everything happens for a reason. And only you will know what is best for you. Don’t let anyone make that decision for you, make it for yourself.

I am not a teen, but I am a child of a mother who had me as a teen. So, I just wanted to give you an answer from my point of view, being I am the child what you might expect in the end. My mother kept me but my father signed adoption papers, I love my mother to death and have alot of respect for her taking full responsibility of me at such a young age.Yes you would need help if you want to be able to finish school,etc. But, if you feel your not ready then by all means give the baby to somebody who is ready.I have respect for my biological father as well since he made my life better by letting my mothers husband(when I was 5) adopt me so I was raised in a 2 parent home. But, at the same time that child may want to meet you in the future and coming from a semi adopted child, all I wanted was answers I didn’t want a relationship with him, even more so because he had another daughter when I was 2 that he did take on the father role to. So, in the end you have to decide which is better for you and baby.

sincerly that might not be the best desision..
but if you feall like you wont be able to provide wat the child needs thean you have all the rights to make that decision!..just make sure you won’t regret it!

I have nothing but respect for a teen who is willing to give her baby up for adoption. Sacrificing her body for 9 months to give a family who can’t have children on their own a chance to be parents is the most noble thing a teenage girl can do.

I’m sorry that I am not a “Teen” but I am a fairly young mom in my late 20s (single and unplanned).
I would say that if you have found yourself in an unplanned pregnancy and you don’t think it would be wise to raise the child on your own (for their benefit AND yours) then adoption is the only option.
I WAS Pro-Choice until I faced the very real situation of what to do about my pregnancy…
Ultimately, I just could NOT get an abortion and knew that I (personally) could NOT give the baby up for adoption… After weighing my options I decided that although my goals would be postponed that I could still reach them and I was going to keep my baby and raise her myself.
That was the best decision I (personally) could have made. Today, I am Pro-Life!
SO, if you think that the child would have a better life being raised by a more established family, and that you would be better able to take of yourself… Then give the child LIFE and a GOOD LIFE with an established family… Even consider an ‘Open Adoption’ so you can keep track and eventually re-establish that relationship as their Loving Biological Mother.
Remember that despite this opinion and ANY opinion of someone else… This decison is YOURS and YOURS ALONE!!!
Don’t let anyone sway you one way or another… Not the father, friends, family, parents, clergy, Yahoo Answers submitters… No One but you makes this decison because YOU have to live with it and No One else…
Best of Luck and Lots of “Good Thoughts” are being sent your way!
